5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16995
2) x%=7309.97
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=16995/7309.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7309.97 is what percent of 16995
